“Before you get [to awesome] you’re going to have to start a lot of things, and I must tell you you’re going to suck at it for a really, really long time. An unbelievably long time.”

“Getting something is what enables my brain to know it’s starting to write.”

“You have to write your way out of thinking block, because you can never think your way out of a writing block.”

“Tolerance means that you’re going to have to forgive yourself when it doesn’t work out on the very first day.”

Awesome stuff.
